CHICAGO, Nov 3-The third great event
in the historical case of the condemned
Anarchists-the denial of petition for
writ of error-has caused as = big
sensation on the streets and
in public resorts as did the rendering of the
verdict and the decision of the Illinois SUI
preme Court 0Thousands of copies of extra
editions of the daily papers with the an
l1ouncement of the United States Supreme
Courts decision in the case, which were on
the street few minutes after the re-
suit was known in Washington, were eager
ly purchased, and the expressed opinion of
all who read the decision was that the con-
demned men were doomed to suffer the ex-
IRENE penalty of the law The question as
to whether Governor Oglesby would stay
the execution or commute the sentence
was freely discussed, but no fixed opinion
on that score was arrived at.
What is the decision?" asked States
Attorney Grinnell, when the Journal re-
porter called for his opinion on the decision.
They denied the petition, did they? Well,
then, have no opinion to express. have
done my whole duty in the matter, and my
work in it is finished. Ihave not straw to
throw in anybody's way nor in any thing
they may desire to do, but have no opinion
to express
Captain Black Sid that the only thing tc
do now Was to appeal to the Governor and
this would be done at once.
The news Of the decision of the Federal
Supreme Court was received at the Jail at
ll:45 and was Immediately communicated
to Parsons and Spies by notes sent up
by several reporters. In reply to
all inquiries the same stereotyped
reply was returned: I'VE have nothing to
say" Spies asked Mr.. Osborne, the day
death watch, to notify the other prisoners,
which he did. They all received the news
without the least outward showing Of SUE.
prise.
Within two hours of the receipt of the
news from Washington an order came from
the grand jury in session ordering the jailet
to release eleven prisoners who were
confined on various charges. 1t is tln-
derstood that several discharges will be
made each day. Only aggravated cases
will be held for trial No information
could be obtained at the States Attor-
ney's office as to why there were SO many
discharges, but it is generally understood
ta no In,
of Messrs Matson and Grinnell that there
be as few prisoners as possible on November
IL. 1t is also quite probable that number
of prisoners will be taken to the police sta
ton for safe-keeping until after the execu-

Nearly an hour before the Anarchists were

Lloyd arrived at the jail, accompanied by
Deputy Sheriff Carolan The party went
direct to the cell of August Spies and re-
manned there in conversation for nearly two
hours Every movement of the two visitors
was carefully watched by the deputy. After
all the prisoners had been released from
their cells Adolph Fischer remained talking
with the visitors for considerable length
of time. 1t is understood that the visit was
for the express purpose of urging those of
the condemned men who had renowned
executive clemency to reconsider their de-
cision. i
The relatives of all the prisoners visited
them In the afternoon, and although appar-
emily endeavoring to appear calm, all
showed traces of the intense mental suffer-

men made every effort to console them and

The Amnesty Association met at 213
West Madison street last night There were
thirty men and five women there to take
part in the rather gloomy proceedings. No
one seemed to be surprised at the result of
the effort before the Supreme Court Pres
ident Oliver announced that the committee
to present the petitions to the Governor
would leave for Springfield on Monday or
Tuesday, and urged all who could to accom-
pany the party. He urged the necessity for
rapid circulation of the petitions as the
time was short

every possible precaution against any

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Nov 3.-Attorney-Gen-
eral Hunt telegraphed the news of the Su-
preme Courts decision in the Anarchists
case yesterday to his assistant, who con-
veyed it at once to Governor Oglesby
The Executive listened to the announce
ment without a word of comment and
without change of expression to
indicate his feeling. Governor Oglesby is
extremely reticent upon the subject of the
Anarchists case and not a word has been
dropped by him in the hearing even of any
of the State officials which would indicate
in any way how he looks upon it. He
has not received any of the letters
OF Fischer, Lingg and Engel, which We're
published, nor the long letter written few
days ago by Parsons. 1t is expected that
the friends OF the prisoners have inter
cepted these letters in order to keep from
the Governor any personal or official in
formation of the utterances of the con-
demned men,
The Governor received number of let
tiers and petitions on the subject of the An
archists' case yesterday. The feeling is al
most universal here that he will not inter

is bare possibility that he may in: expose
